What was that old saying? If it's not running its rusting...or similar. I would prefer the set with 350 hours over five (recent) years time instead of low hour motors like 350 hours over fifteen years.
Don't those 300's run 1,000 hours if well maintained? If so the 350 hours on yours is sounding like a positive.

Thank you for the feedback so far.
Was told that the hours on the engines would reduce the sale price of the boat by at least 10 K on a 100K purchase

No way. That is not a lot of hours. You'll also be amazed at how much the idling time adds up. When I scanned my 525 I had 386 hours, 161 of them below 749 rpm (idle) and only 14 hours above 4,000 rpm. I really thought I'd been running it harder.
